Ok so I'm new in the sign making business and I'm trying to work with a new substrate (Omega Bond, Dibond etc.) I'm trying to figure out an easy method on cutting this material down. I'm used to working with foam board and chloroplast but this material is a lot tougher. Please any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I second the table saw. I use 7-1/4" Oldham X-Cel Carbide circular saw blades on my table saw. They have a super narrow kerf and go through ACM like a laser. Amazing on plastic too. I have one blade for each material.

There should be tutorial on YouTube for most of your needs, or wikiHow/Instructables. Just type in "How to ____" or "_____ basics/101". Or just ask and while you may get some snotty remarks from pros, we all had to start somewhere and need a little reassurance even if it feels like a stupid question.

are you cutting shapes or just to size? if just to size cut it like wood with a saw. if shapes, that's a whole other thing and a whole other type of saw. we have a panel saw to cut to size and a jg saw for shapes
